EAT AT MADONNELLA
Our table takes three forms: collaborative dining events open to the public, private meals for groups, and breakfasts, lunches, or dinners available by reservation for guests staying at Madonnella.
Our food experiences are event-based gatherings created in collaboration with local and international chefs. Each event has its own menu and character, designed specifically for that date and shared at one communal table in nature.
Private meals are designed for groups (minimum 10 adults) who wish to gather in a more intimate setting. These lunches, dinners, or breakfasts are based on what is growing in our garden and what is available in the season, prepared simply and served in a relaxed countryside atmosphere.
Guests staying at Madonnella may also reserve breakfast, lunch, or dinner during their stay. These meals follow the same garden-to-table approach and are offered upon request. All formats are shaped by the season, our garden, and a quiet, attentive approach to hospitality.
MEET THE KITCHEN TEAM
Mariangela - Founder & Creative Soul.
Madonnella was born from Mariangela’s desire to create a space where nature, food, and creativity coexist in harmony. Rooted in her love for the organic garden and seasonal ingredients, her philosophy is simple: cook with what the earth offers, respect its rhythm, and share it generously. Her plant-based cuisine is not about rules, but about celebrating abundance, color, and vitality. After working in vegetable gardens in London and hosting lievito madre gatherings and food experiences in Rome, she shaped Madonnella as a place for slow living, long tables, and meaningful connection — where simplicity becomes something deeply beautiful.
Valentina - Chef & Wine Connoisseur.
Valentina embodies the refined and intuitive side of Madonnella. With experience in cafés like Marigold and restaurants across Italy, she brings technique, balance, and sensitivity to the kitchen while staying true to the space’s natural and seasonal philosophy. Her approach is thoughtful and harmonious, guided by quality ingredients and subtle details. Through her love of wine and pairing, she adds depth and nuance to the experience, helping shape Madonnella into a place where food, atmosphere, and feeling come together.
